Chapter 1178: She Didn’t Want to Separate from Him (1)

“Y-Ye Sijue… Why are we walking this way?” Their surroundings were getting darker as he walked, which made Annie scared. It was especially so since she couldn’t see what was in front of her and could only hug Ye Sijue’s neck.

She was puzzled. They had seen some streetlights earlier. Why didn’t he walk there?

“Shh.” Ye Sijue turned his head slightly. His low voice seemed to speak beside her ear as he said, “There’s someone following us.”

Annie froze. “Someone’s…”

Afraid that she would cry out, Ye Sijue lifted a hand to cover her mouth.

Annie’s eyes widened in surprise. She tapped at his hand, and whispered after he moved it away, “How do you know that someone is following us?”

“It’s a gut feeling,” Ye Sijue answered in a low voice.

It didn’t feel right for Annie to ask if his gut feelings were accurate since they had already come all the way here.

“But… where are we going now?” She was getting more and more scared. Her fingers were pinching his arm, and she didn’t want to go any further.

They were enveloped in the darkness.

There had been a sliver of moonlight earlier, but it was now covered by a cloud, causing their surroundings to look even darker.

Annie was really scared of the dark. Her thoughts couldn’t help but to run wild, and she wondered if there were any ghosts or poisonous snakes around.

She tensed up suddenly, and spoke out, her voice uneven. “I-I… I think I heard a rustling noise. Can we get out of here quickly?”

She felt really scared!

Ye Sijue could feel her trembling. Reaching out, he held her arm and comforted her. “It’s alright. It’s just the leaves rustling in the wind. Let’s walk faster and get through this place.”

He didn’t know who the stalker was, but he was going to throw them off.

It was then that he regretted not preventing Yin Shaojie and Mu Xiaoxiao’s plan. Moreover, their phones were all in their car and they couldn’t call for help at all.

They could only save themselves now.

“Okay.” Annie nodded.

He continued walking with her on his back.

Finally, they got out of the forest after a few minutes.

The path before them was clear now and there was even a fancy house in front of them. Annie was delighted. “There’s a house!”

With civilization came help.

They could borrow a phone or a car from someone.

“Let’s go over and take a look.” Ye Sijue was frowning slightly. Their situation wasn’t that optimistic, for the house in front of them wasn’t lit up, which meant that there was either no one there.

When they reached the front of the house, Annie patted him and said, “Put me down.”

Ye Sijue put her down.

Annie rushed to the door of the house and knocked on it. “Is anyone there? Is anyone there?”

However, there was no response.

She immediately became dejected. “Could it be that the owner of the house hasn’t returned? But it’s already so late…”

It had already been past eight when they first left, so it must be past nine now. Americans usually returned home early and if the owners had children, they would already be in bed by now.

Ye Sijue walked over, trying to gather information through the window.

He swept a gaze across the front yard and said, “They can’t be still out at this time. I think they’re on vacation.”
